weekend cake baking.

my sweet momma is flying in this morning from NH

for a long weekend visit.

i'm so excited to show her around this new home that we have here.

i would like nothing more than surprise her with a freshly

baked cake that we can devour with dinner tonight.

wouldn't that be a nice surprise?

one of my favorite things to do when i lived with mom was bake a 2-layer cake

from scratch, frost it with homemade butter cream

and plop in onto of one of our pretty cake platters.

momma would carve out slices and deliver them to her co-workers

and, of course, we feasted upon it for guilty night-time snacks.

so, what cake to bake today?

a chocolate cake with coconut? lemon cake and lemon butter cream?

something else? . . . too many possibilities!!!
